Andrew Stein

Andrew Stein was a New York Democrat who founded the "Democrats for Trump" movement during the 2016 presidential election. On 23 June 2019, he published an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal stating that Trump deserved a second term due to his revival of the stagnating US economy, but advising that he should run for re-election with Nikki Haley - and not the incumbent Vice President Mike Pence - as his running mate in order to win over moderate suburban women who had overwhelmingly voted Democrat in the 2018 midterm elections. On 21 August 2019, Haley dispelled all rumors that Trump would choose her as his running mate, saying that she was good friends with Pence, and Trump also said that he was 100% certain that Pence would remain his running mate.
